There is a nice selection of sale items from Gooseberry Patch! I like this 2013 calendar, it has a recipe each month and this one is a gift idea! When I added this to my card for $9.95 the shipping came up as $3.95 BUT that I could add another $10 in items for the same shipping amount! This is a good deal! I can certainly get a couple great gifts for one low shipping price, there are a few items under $5 or $10!
